CMLL (SUN) 06/17 Arena Mexico [superluchas, ovaciones]
1) Mini Damian 666 & Mini Halloween b Bracito de Oro & Tzuki
2) Lady Apache, Marcela, Sahori b La Seductora, Medussa, Rosa Negra
3) La Mascara, Mictlan, Volador Jr. b Euforia, Nosferatu, Satanico
4) Amapola b Diana La Cazadora [hair]
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Heavy Metal, Shocker b Damian 666, Halloween, Terrible
6) Mistico & Negro Casas b Averno & Mephisto [CMLL TAG]
In the main event, Negro Casas used the La Mistica and Mistico won with the casita. Superluchas has it at 27 minutes. Hair match went about 14. Diana’s wants a rematch in Monterrey. Lady Apache & Marcela replaced India Sioux & Dark Angel in the women’s trio.
Ovaciones says around 5,000 attendance, citing rain and Mexico’s soccer team playing a Gold Cup game. Amapola vs Diana was an interesting feud to me, but I didn’t expect it to be a draw any more than Leono/Mogur was a draw. Maybe this is one time blip, but it comes off to me as if you can’t just throw Mistico out there in what everyone knows will be a great match (and by all accounts, it was) and expect to pop a big house, especially when he’s been in main events and big matches plenty in that building lately. If this was a show people were really into, they probably can skip a game versus Costa Rica, but it was a feud with a complete lack of recent activity (and a sub feud only built up on the B-Show, with a build that only makes sense after the fact.)
FWIW, next Mexico Gold Cup game is on Thursday, and the final (likely between US and Mexico – I’m thinking Guadeloupe’s run of a lifetime is about over) is next Sunday.
Add a July 28th taping in Tlaxaca to the upcoming AAA show list. No lineup is announced.

Magazines
– Lucha 2000 #373 has Espectro Jr. signing the mask match challenge with Blue Demon Jr. in blood.
– Super Luchas #217 has the death of Vince McMahon. (I will resist the urge to mock Berwyn.)
– Super Luchas Grafico #23 has Mistico and Dave Meltzer.
Lizmark, Huracan Ramires Jr., La Parkita were in Michoacan, talking about lucha libre as their anti-drug.

This is a free show. They’re doing a match between radio show personalities (I’ve skipped it here), so I’m guessing the station is subsudizing the show.

Hey, Abismo is alive. I guess he really wasn’t suspended after all? Or was this a indy show?
It’s a semi-indy show, but I guess his suspension is done by now.
Less than 5,000… that’s scary considering that Ocampo made it sound as if the show in which Mistico returned to the ring drew LESS than this one. Let’s see how well or bad AAA did at Toluca, where they put a show in a baseball stadium, although Rey de Reyes got a 8,000 turned at the door full house while a much bigger America vs Chivas was taking place right there in Mexico City (is not as if the guys actually went on to attend the Gold Cup match).
That show at Auditorio Torreon is pretty odd, I had heard about a Park vs Wagner mano a mano for the 23rd, but I doubt they would run it with a free show 2 days before… and since Silver King is there, I don’t think that is a promotional war or something.
I wonder what kind of reaction Sarah Stock would get if someone Mexico were to play Canada in the final.
Canada will never be in any sort of important soccer game.
Before the 94 world cup, Mexico played against Canada in Edmonton, and Canada would have qualified to the WC by not losing that game. Under those circumstances Stock might get a bad reaction, but I doubt anyone gives a rat’s ass for this Gold Cup.
I wonder why RFC is now saying that Americans copy Lucha Libre Mexicana. Strange. Unless I’m missing something.
He meant that the factions as Vipers/Secta/Guerreros/Perros are not copied from NWO. Factions exists since the 50’s, probably before that both in Mexico and US but many think that wrestling started with McMahon.
Responding to my post, NEWS and PICS says that CMLL is taping on Tuesday at Coli DF for TV Azteca. I think he meant Azteca American because they have been talking for some time about Lucha for their US network to fill in when soccer is not on. Azteca America has seen the Monterrey Azteca junk, and was not impressed with the gym lights, and weak production. They probably went right to CMLL and cut a deal for Tuesday if News and Pics is correct.
And why did they edit the word “Cabrones”. I translate that as “cuckolds”, which is what a promotion is when they don’t own their own footage and let Televisa and MVS own everything.
Nope, Cuckold would be “Cornudo”, not “cabron” which would actually by like motherf***er.
who says this website isn’t informative?
RE: thecubsfan, LOL.
Never a dull moment on here.
Rumors are not only is he suspended from AAA but indefinitely like Mr. Niebla. We’ll see what happens.
